I'm only 66 but inspired by you guys. My boat is 31 years old and going strong.
Don't see any young guys at the boatyard. I'm younger than most of the skippers I meet at the yard. History if interested: I bought my first boat, a used sunfish at 20 and sailed on the back bay, behind the barrier islands of Atlantic City, NJ. Bought a Cape Dory 22 new, when I was 27, single no kids. Met my wife and we made some cruises together between Connecticut and Chesapeake Bay. We both got into windsurfing and travelled for that to the Caribbean and Hawaii. Sold the boat to buy a house and have kids. Bought my present boat and first C&C when I was 49 after getting a bonus from work. I recently retired and get my first SS check this month, so I feel somewhat successful though not rich by any means. I'm presently refitting my wonderful C&C, replacing windows and painting the deck. I can't afford to hire the yard, so have to learn how to do all the projects myself. I never wanted to learn so much about epoxy and fiberglass and paint chemistry. But it is very rewarding to see the few improvements I've made. Appreciate all the support and advice from this list and YouTube which I find amazing.
